Their current Copperhead 12th & 10th pan cars and older all use the kingpin front suspension and fall within the rules.

If races like IIC, Snowbirds or any other races want to stick to the sliding kingpin suspension, Then Yokomo will be on the sidelines along with me. Didnt seem to stoip them from running and winning the worlds. Im sure that the rules can me modified to allow the 1/12th and 1/10th pancars to evolve. They did it for batteries when they did away with inferior cells. Now its time to do away with inferior front suspension or at least not make companies have to use it.
Our cars will come with the strut front end for now. The next version of the car will not though. It will be a while before that happens but i am not going to stay with the strut after this.
